This contribution emerges from an exploratory study of the Sacco Valley, an emblematic territory of Italia di mezzo (inbetween Italy), characterized by incomplete modernization processes and contradictory dynamics. Through a situated methodological approach, drawing from psychogeographic dérive and radical geography, this investigation provides a critical and narrative reading of a place suspended between a paralyzed present and nostalgic, idealized representations. The research reveals the coexistence of both fragile and robust infrastructures— including logistics hubs, highways, highspeed rail lines—alongside processes of collective denial and everyday forms of resistance. The Valley thus serves as a laboratory for an ecology of the threshold: a minimal, attentive project that engages with margins and fractures, examining the landscape through what resurfaces what persists, and what has been excluded from dominant narratives.
Keywords: inbetween Italy; raid; territorial situation.
